A couple of very interesting Betmix Angler plays appeared when looking at Wednesday's racing from Tampa Bay Downs.
Tampa Bay Downs | Race 7 | 3:24 pm ET
#12 Princess Honor (15-1 morning line odds) gets a longshot look after cutting back from a Gulfstream 1-turn mile to this 7-furlong maiden claimer at Tampa. Such moves produced a remarkable 5 wins in the last 6 Tampa MCL attempts going back to April of 2022. Princess Harbor faced slightly better competition in 2 prior dirt losses at Tampa last winter, including an attempt vs. the boys. She showed some pace interest vs. fellow fillies. Win-place bet #12.
Tampa Bay Downs | Race 9 | 4:28 pm ET
#4 La Frost (9-2 morning line odds) won his debut race August 31 at Monmouth and has been sidelined since. Note that trainer Terri Pompay isn't known for winning first time out, so this debut score gets extra credit for that fact. Then consider that Pompay's 10 debut winners since 2015 have produced 4 next-out winners who made it 2-for-2 like La Frost attempts ($2.49 ROI for every $1 bet). Win bet #4.
